It’s All About The Steal DVMA Christmas Brunch, Dec 11, 2016 –

DVMA members gathered for a wonderful Christmas brunch at El Tapatio in Pleasant Hill on

Dec 11. There were 40 members in attendance this year so the chairs were spacious enough

for everyone to be comfortable (and keep their prizes on top of the tables) in our private

room. The food and mimosas were great, some members enjoyed personal omelettes, and

everyone had a super time. Most members participated in the lively gift exchange which be-

came the steal-a-gift event. Harry explained most of the rules before beginning and then

pulled a raffle ticket to determine who would be first. Janet had her ticket pulled for the first

prize! This year there were gift cards, model Mustangs, tool and socket kits, a Snap-On pok-

er set, wax warmers (aromas), a duffle bag (that is available at Delta Bay Mustang), Ford

cups with hot cocoa packages, a gourmet food server, and a popcorn gift bag. Not everyone

played but those who did enjoyed a fun time trying to get the best item to take home. Raffle

tickets were used to give the table poinsettia plants to ticket winners. DVMA provided the

plants and part of the dinner cost for members. Many thanks to DVMA and all members at-

tending for a wonderful start to the Christmas and holiday season.

DVMA members must have quite

a sweet tooth because this year’s

battle was not over an RC car or

tools but a chocolate assortment!

Can’t remember who won; was it

DVMA Dispatch President Message

DVMA members had a wonderful dinner and fun time at El Tapatio, Pleasant

Hill, on Dec 11. There were 40 of us, and lots of gifts to exchange. Not sure

who did the most stealing but there were some awesome items. Let’s do it

again next year!

Our next general meeting will be January 11. We will have a vote about meet-

ing start times, so please be there to make your vote count. Should we begin

our meetings at 7:00 or at 7:30 pm? After this vote, our meetings will begin at

the elected time.

John has info about DVMA events and MCA National Shows. Ed presents the

monthly event calendar. Anne puts all the news in the monthly newsletter.

There are lots of avenues to get the news and also to advertise an event that you

would like to plan for DVMA members. We will need volunteers to help Jim

with our Annual Car Show on May 6, 2017. There are still some planning de-

tails to arrange, so join the Car Show Committee and be heard.

After the holidays, there will be lots of plans for spring and summer car shows.

Bring your calendars and your ideas to our meetings. Enjoy the cookies and

conversations, too!!!

I look forward to seeing you at meetings and/or at future events.
